Hello from the Crowne Plaza Riverwalk at Pat O’Bryan’s UnSeminar6 in San Antonio, Texas!

UnSeminar6 Presentation with Lee Collins

It’s great to be back on Pat O’Bryan’s stage after speaking at UnSeminar5 last year, and I can simply never get tired of visiting San Antonio and the amazing Riverwalk!

This year at UnSeminar6, I decided to do something a little different with my presentation and shared the stage with Lee Collins, whom I’ve presented with before on a few other occasions.

Together, Lee Collins and I overdelivered in two different presentation slots, first talking about how to do effective niche and market research, followed by how effective social media strategies help you rank well on Google.

In fact, we had so much information to share that we even decided to extend our presentation at the last minute, ordering pizza for the attendees so that they can stay through lunch!

There’s no doubt that the attendees got more than their money’s worth at UnSeminar6, especially since they were also able to meet and learn from other experts like Dr. Joe Vitale, Ben Mack, Craig Perrine, Wendi Friesen, Bill Hibbler, Eric Farewell, Erica Douglass, Nathan Anderson, Tony Laidig and my business partner, Andy Huang.

As with most seminars, the live networking at UnSeminar 5 was amazing, especially with the killer line-up of speakers and motivated attendees.

However, you know that time has definitely changed when the power of Web 2.0 not only brought on an additional 150 viewers from all around the world through live streaming…

But Twitter (one of the most popular Web 2.0 social marketing tools available today for networking) was also responsible for selling 1/3 of the tickets to the event, as well as booking several of the speakers!

Plus, throughout the weekend, we continued to network both online and offline, getting more and more people to sign up for Web 2.0 profiles like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace,YouTube and more.

UnSeminar 5 was probably one of the most interactive Internet Marketing conferences I’ve been a part of that encouraged so many people to take action, whether or not they were live at the actual event.

I personally had a lot of fun not only at the conference itself, but the most invaluable experiences of all was the opportunity to hang out with speakers and attendees alike for lunch, dinner and throughout the evenings at the Riverwalk, Alamo and some of the more happening downtown areas.

Now, because my camera is broken (boo) and I haven’t gotten a replacement yet, I’m now at the mercy of my friends who did take photos to send them to me.

But while we wait for them, here are a few TwitPics (photo service for Twitter) that my friends and I took on our phones and posted online throughout the weekend…

I’m sure I’ll be seeing you guys around, especially if you’re interested in attending some of my future events in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

But if you don’t want to wait that long or travel that far (depending on where you’re located), you can catch me at my final U.S. workshop this year on August 8th and 9th in Long Island, NY, when Howie Schwartz, Ross Goldberg and I host the Three Sides Of Traffic Workshop.
